How much is
this British kitten? Let's see one by one. Most people
have a stereotype that if a cat, even though a thoroughbred,
it is not and can not be expensive, that's such a
pedigreed dog - that's another matter. And for some
reason no one confuses the value of such of the same
pug or chihuahua, rottweiler or doberman. Very often
you can hear on the phone: "Why is it so expensive?
Others are much cheaper." Well, let's lay all
on the shelves, from which one gets the value of a
purebred kitten.

PRICE DEPENDING ON CLASS KITTEN
All kittens are divided into three classes:Pet-class
- the lowest class of kittens. Kittens of this class
have any deviation from the standard of the breed,
birth defects and deficiencies. This does not mean
that they are some people with disabilities, simply,
there are deviations that are not allowed to participate
in exhibitions. For example very long hair, or the
quality does not meet the standard, incorrect eye
color, too pointy tail, overbite, or a speck in the
wrong place, and so on. These kittens are intended
only for maintenance as pets, they do not participate
in shows and breeding. But they are the same British
cat with the same temperament and character, and if
you do not have the above values, then you can opt
for a kitten in this class. Kittens pet-class has
the lowest cost. In Russia the cost of a kitten pet-class
is 400 - 500 $Breed-class
- the so-called middle class, are animals that have
minor deviations from the standard to allow participation
in exhibitions. Such animals may be involved in breeding,
and to be pets. The cost of a kitten breed-class is
500 - 700 $Show-class
- the animals of the high-class exhibition, and they
must fully comply with all standards of the breed,
and they should not be any deviation. Among them the
most demanding, but the price of these kittens will
start from 800 $ and more. You should know that cats
are only two classes - the pet and show class cats
breed-class does not exist. This is due to the fact
that the judge shows a very strict approach to the
assessment of this cat manufacturers, and what if
there is any deviation from the standard, then the
cat can not be assigned to show the class.

KITTEN PRICE DEPENDING ON MANUFACTURERS
Anyone reputable breeder and kennel owner seeks to
have the cats in a kennel elite producers. Finding
a good manufacturer rather difficult task. And usually
the price of such products will start at 1000 $ Sometimes
a good producer has to look at foreign nurseries,
which account for kittens begins about six months
before their birth. It takes a lot of time and money
on phone calls and delivery of animal emotions and
nerves spent. As a result, the value of a good producer
can reach 2 or 3000 $ But even if the kennel has its
own cat-producer for breeding have to resort to third-party
manufacturers. The cost of mating is also an important
component determines the value of a kitten. And the
cost of mating with a good producer can vary from
300 to 1000 $ At present, unfortunately is the so-called
"cheapening" the breed, many breeders do
not care much about finding and buying good purebred
producers, and often knit made with producers who
have not quite thoroughbred pedigree. These manufacturers
are usually many times cheaper, as well as binding
to them. Hence, the relative cheapness of kittens
in the pedigrees of which may be present such as Scottish
straights. About any purebreeding there is no longer
out of the question. Kittens of course on the passport
will be British, but so is not inherently. It's like
a Swiss watch is real, and there is a replica of the
Chinese, like all the same and just can not tell,
but there are not very accurate, and break all the
time. With all the kittens just as well, like the
British, but the wool "little bit" is not
so, my head is not of the form, the ears are not so
delivered. Maybe for someone it will not matter, as
the decisive factor is the low price of the kitten,
but if you want to find yourself really vysokoporodistoe
animal, it's not your choice.

COST OF FEEDING AND CONTENT KITTENS
The cost of feeding and maintenance of a kitten up
a very large, if not most of its value. To a British
cat has evolved from a small lump in the healthy and
beautiful adult animal, it is in early childhood should
receive high-quality balanced food in a super-class
food. It is also very important to give a kitten feeding
of vitamins. Podkarmlimat kittens start with 3 weeks
of age. Up to 1.5 - 2 months, the kittens still sucking
their mother's milk, but they have been fed 3-4 times
a day. Frankly cheap and unhealthy kittens and cats
such as food and Whiskas Kiteket, we do not take into
account. Jars feed super-class "Hills" or
"Proplan" weighing 70 grams., One month's
1.5 kitty is enough for about a day, 2-month-old kitten
eats 4-5 times a day, and these jars it needs about
2 a day. The cost of a single jar of about 2 $, Through
simple mathematical calculations, you can easily calculate
the cost of feeding. Add to this the cost of vitamins,
fresh raw beef, which is obligatory in the diet, a
variety of natural baits, cat grass, and more. Do
not forget that pregnant and nursing cats - a mother,
too, is not the holy spirit is fed, she needed to
have at least 4-5 times a day. For example raw beef
should be one-third of its diet, the cost of which
comes to 15 $ per kg.
Another consumable for the content of the nursery
- it's certainly a filler for the toilet. If you live
in a house three cats, the example of one pack wood
filler 4.5 liters costs 5 $, Enough for about 5 days,
and when a kitten consumption doubles, respectively.
Also, kittens for full development and training need
different toys, scratching posts, houses. To care
for the kittens, you must also buy a variety of combs,
brushes, kogterezki, and a bunch more all different
details.

VETERINARY CARE COSTS
Veterinary services - an important cost item self-respecting
nursery. To the nursery born healthy and strong kittens,
which will continue to please their future bosses,
a good breeder will make sure every testing all their
animals. Various infections can accidentally fall
even in the indoor kennel, so regular inspection is
necessary. For successful treatment, it is important
to detect the disease early on. Analyses of animal
testing no less for the people. Anyone interested
can download the price list of Belgorod Interregional
Veterinary Laboratory. For example the holding of
only one analysis of a particular type of infection
in a cat costs about 35 $. The same number of cost
and other analyzes. And if God forbid, to detect the
infection, then add the cost of treatment here, the
purchase of antibiotics, syringes, pills, vet services
and other stuff. Today the price of medicines in pharmacies,
we all know, and that for people that for cats, the
same drugs. Vet, too, are not cheap, one time - consultation
costs an average of 10 $. It is also necessary tests
for hereditary diseases that they had not passed on
to future generations, the cost of such analyzes in
the region of 100-150 $. Routine vaccination is also
free kittens are not made, the cost of a vaccination
Multifel-4 - 10 $, Such as a kitten vaccinations need
to do two, when he reaches 12 weeks of age, and exactly
21 days. To determine the compatibility of Males blood
group, it is necessary to carry out analysis of the
definition of blood, which leads to yet another additional
cost.

EXPENDITURE ON ADVERTISING AND PARTICIPACION IN EXHIBITIONS
Advertising - the motor trade! Slightly paraphrasing
that famous phrase can be said that advertising -
is the engine of the nursery. Of course then, when
the nursery becomes known, it would not be particularly
in need of advertising. After all, the glory of a
good nursery is spread by word of mouth, the kittens
from this cattery is written in six months, or even
a year in advance. Take for example, well-known European
kennels. But if the nursery is good, but it is not
as well known? And here we can not do without advertising,
this content, advertising, printing products and services
of a professional photographer. Separately, it should
be noted as a good means of advertising, participation
in cat shows. To the glory of the animal nursery was
booming in the cat community, no shows will not do.
To assess the quality of breeding animals can only
judge on the show, so participation in the exhibitions
an important part of life kennel. Well, as usual,
respectively, participate in the exhibition is very
costly affair. Participation in the exhibition of
one cat, and costs 70 - 80 $, Add here participated
in the show ring, the cost of a ring 17 $, The cost
of veterinary control, purchasing and other exhibitor
booths. For the closing titles to participate in exhibitions
held in other cities and even countries. In this case,
the usual exhibition costs added to the cost of travel,
accommodation, visas, veterinary certificates for
the crossing of borders and public transportation.
In the end, things are going in a very tidy sum.

A FEW WORDS IN CONCLUSION
In conclusion, I want to say that the article was
not written with the aim to show what poor, poor cat
breeders. First of all, we have chosen this occupation,
it is a passion and love for animals, if you want
a disease, infected which is impossible to recover.
This article is primarily written to answer the question
why this is so expensive purebred British kittens
from a cattery. What do you think, considering all
the costs described above, whether the present British
kitten from a cattery be cheap? We think that navryadli.
If you offer a kitten "for cheap", think
about what might or major item of expenditure was
excluded from the content. Maybe it's poor quality
feed, which could affect the future of animal health,
or lack of proper veterinary care, and can be saved
to the manufacturers, and instead of a purebred kitten,
you get a cat or a cat, "a la the British".
And what money can be measured by experience, the
sleepless nights spent helping a cat in childbirth,
the tragedy of the loss of a little kitten, with severe
and prolonged labor. It is not always everything goes
smoothly, it is only in the proverb says that only
the fast cats are born. We hope that we have fully
answered the question why so expensive?
